This restaurant was recommended to us from the chef/owner of Solasta (a great vegan spot in Oakville). Taking his advice, we tried Awai out yesterday evening. We were very impressed!
With the "pay what you like" option, you are served up to 7 courses- but you can stop at any point or fast forward to desert.
Our dinner started with a flatbread that was scrumptious. Very unique pairing of rapini with a pear purée as the base. Rapini was nice and crisp, which was excellent.
The following dish was a soup with various greens and tofu. We really enjoyed the broth of the soup.
We then had a salad that had sweet potatoes pasta, greens, cherry tomatoes and a nice dressing. The next dish was a mushroom ravioli. We were curious as to the next dish, put getting pretty full. We opted to get it- a almond based gnocchi with a delicious pistachio sauce. Very filling dish!
Last put not least was desert! This was one of our favourite dishes. A parsnip creme brûlée and a Seminole cake with cashew ganache! Boy was it good! Very light, but so satisfying.
The servers were all very nice and hospitable. We will definitely be coming back sometime soon.
